In the ten years after September 11, 2001, approximately 16,000 service members have died on active duty status. These deaths included accidents, combat deaths, illnesses, suicide, and homicide. Although the study of bereavement in the civilian population is robust, there is little empirical research on the impact of the death of a service member on military families, especially the families of these 16,000 service members. The goal of the National Military Family Bereavement Study is to hear about the experiences of family survivors (parents, siblings, spouses and children) of all circumstances (accidents, combat deaths, illnesses, suicide, and homicide, etc.) of active-duty deaths since 9/11/01. The National Military Family Bereavement Study is the first large scientific study of the impact of a U.S. service member death on surviving family members. #GoldStarPins #MilFam #Honorthefallen
